NOTES
A largely forgotten story in Asian Christian history is the spread of the Church through missionary-sending monasteries. This book focuses especially on the 8th-9th century period, when the thriving Church of the East, led by the dynamic Patriarch Timothy I, not only continued to spread to India and China but also reached out to Muslims in its heartland of Mesopotamia
